Homosexuality
God's Word is very clear on homosexuality.
It is not the aim of Christian Soldiers to bash individuals caught up in the homosexual lifestyle, but, rather to encourage them, in love, to repent of, rather than promote or justify, this particular sin.
It is not politically correct to maintain a position that homosexuality (now referred to in PC language as gay) is wrong.
It is the hope and passion of homosexuals that their perversion of choice be accepted as normal, rather than a deviation from the norm, in our society. Clearly they are seeking a minority status, replete with all the protection under the law that minority status receives.
UPDATE: We happened upon a blog post that presents, in detail, the dark aspects of the homosexual lifestyle. Even from a totally secular, humanistic point of view, it is beyond comprehension that society-at-large is willing to embrace such vile and medically dangerous a lifestyle as that which is engaged in by homosexuals. Warning! The textual content of the following link is EXTREMELY GRAPHIC: Thoughts and Theology: Homosexuality
Another web site which has come to our recent attention is http://www.thejudeo-christianview.com - which currently consists of an open letter to Congressional leaders, entitled Same-Sex Unions and Child Sacrifice
The focus of the latter portion of the title is a bit different than what I had first envisioned, given the former portion of the title, although the actual points raised are meritorious.
The 'Child Sacrifice' dissertation I was expecting would be along the lines of the children 'of' same-sex 'parents'. A well-balanced and healthy child will best emanate from the God-given, prescribed formula for a family - one man and one woman - father and mother. A single father or a single mother raising children is not an ideal situation, however, there are numerous factors contributing to the 'single parent' situation.
Despite the objections of the homosexual community, a child with two fathers or two mothers is NOT more beneficial than a single parent-child relationship, and we maintain that is extremely deleterious to the well-being of children.
If the moral majority of our nation stands silent on these issues, we will soon find that our Pastors will be bound and gagged on the pulpit - preaching on the sin of homosexuality will have been relegated to the status of 'hate speech'.
Indeed, even now Christians are being accused of just that - here is just one example.
Perhaps Christian Soldiers will be added to their diatribe, because we stand firm on our contention that homosexuality is an abomination! We love the sinner, we hate the sin. If that is 'hate speech', so be it.
What I think is truly hateful, is the shameless indoctrination of innocent young minds by this perverse segment of our society.
Case in point: The Lexington, MA school system is sanctioning the use of the books "King and King" and "King and King and Family" being read to its 2nd graders. These are fairy stories (no pun intended) that portray a Prince who doesn't want to marry a woman and, you guessed it, folks, married another man.
The story ends with the two men kissing. How sweet.
It gets worse, folks...also, in Lexington, MA....
Now, let's check on the Left coast, shall we? The CA legislative body passed a law that would make it mandatory that textbooks "study the role and contributions of...people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender...with particular emphasis on portraying the role of these groups in contemporary society."
The story:

The good news:
California Governor Says He'll Veto 'Gay History' Bill
Arnold came through - the bill was vetoed. That is one battle won, but, be assured, the war rages on.

STAND FIRM!
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
18:26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
18:27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
18:28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
18:30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
